What is made to measure? Firstly made to measure suits are like ready to wear but with the benefit of being altered. You visit a store but instead of picking up a readymade suit, you give your choice in cloth and style and your measurements are taken. After a few weeks, you get a suit that is fit to your personal dimensions. One unique aspect of custom tailor suitsis that you get the trimmings available for the cloth, buttons etc. With these suits, the necessary alterations can be made on any pattern to meet your specifications.

What are bespoke suits? Bespoke suits are those which are not made using the standard patterns, in fact, tailors use a fresh pattern each time. These suits are designed from the ground and it can take any form, shape or material and is usually handmade by two or three tailors. The tailors take usually a number of measurements, the cloth is cut using these measurements and after several fittings, the final fit is made and your suit is ready. Some made to measure suits are made better than some bespoke suits. These both come at hugely varying price points and quality levels. Bespoke also varies a lot when it comes to the quality of finishing and design. The choice is always your personal. It is really a balance between the cost and quality of work. For those who love bespoke, the higher price point is justified because it does not have the limitations of Made-To-Measure tailorings, such as having more fabric and design options. Since the craftsmanship involved with bespoke is mostly done by hand, bespoke lovers believe that the finished product is superior and better than Made-To-Measure.
